| Abstract |
To report a case of bilateral acute angle closure-glaucoma following the use of subcutaneous Tramadol. A 42-year-old healthy man with unremarkable past medical and ocular history, was admitted to the Orthopedic Department for surgical treatment of a bilateral open fracture of the femur following a road accident. Three hoursafterTramadolsubcutaneous injection, the patient complained of a bilateral acute painful visual loss with persistent vomiting. An ocular examination showed bilateral acute angle-closure-glaucoma. The patient was treated with topical anti-glaucoma therapy and intravenous Mannitol 20%.After resolution of ocular hypertension attack, NdYag laser peripheral iridotomy was performed on both eyes. After a follow-up period of 7 days visual acuity improved to 20/20 in both eyes and intraocular pressure returned to normal levels. This case highlights the risk of developing bilateral acute angle-closure glaucoma after Tramadol administration. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 24 February 2018.
All research outputs
#15,493,741
of 23,025,074 outputs
Outputs from BMC Ophthalmology
#833
of 2,404 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#211,134
of 330,704 outputs
Outputs of similar age from BMC Ophthalmology
#17
of 37 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,025,074 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 22nd percentile – i.e., 22% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 2,404 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 2.7. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 54% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 330,704 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 27th percentile – i.e., 27% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 37 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 29th percentile – i.e., 29% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
